====The War====
+
===Monarchy===

The cross gaming [[company]] [[No Quarter!]] declared war on Rising Sun due to the likeness of the park's heraldry to the company's own insignia. The war took place on the park's grand re-opening, November, 20th 2011. Forty-three people showed up from all over Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania,and even a couple from Texas. It was a straight militia ditch. First to ten wins. Six slaughters in (Rising Sun was getting their bums handed to them), a select few leaders met in the middle of the field to converse and strike a deal; 'Change your colors or your symbol, either or. You can't have both'.

The Prime Minister, [[Nimeria]] had been working on two banners. The red and white that flew that day, and a new one (it did not make it to the field that day due to technical difficulties). [[Nimeria]], pulled [[Aiyana]], the representative for [[No Quarter!]] that day, aside and showed her an image, a brown, black, and brass version of Rising Sun's heraldry that [[Potato]] of [[Ambient Forest]] had presented to the officers of Rising Sun a week earlier. With that, she also took down the red and white banner, folded it up, and presented it to [[Aiyana]], striking a truce between the park, Rising Sun, and the company, [[No Quarter!]].

===The Station of Rising Sun===
 
−
"<i>Through the steam and gears that turn
 
−
Deep within it's heart, it yearns
 
−
To bring the visitors in to see
 
−
And grow the numbers exponentially
 
−
 
 
−
The hustle and bustle more quiet to hear
 
−
Will soon radiate for all land and ear
 
−
Over the hill, a bright image wakes
 
−
Across the tracks and past the lakes
 
−
 
 
−
A great big sign for all and one
 
−
Behold! The station of Rising Sun."</i>
